You can't collect the blood from the pools in steps 16 and 17 until you've made the vials for it in step 15, despite the fact that those steps all appear at the same time.

How do I get more blood? Failed on final combine. If I have to drop quest and do again I will just cry. So stupid that final can be failed in any stage of this earring quest. I had to completely redo a lower stage for this reason. Feeling very frustrated and ready to just say ef it.
